No, not unlikeable. 60k as a first year teacher??? You'd do what lots of people in their 20s do -- get a roommate or two, pack your lunch, etc. This is normal for a young professional starting out. You make more than many people starting out other professions that require the same (or sometimes more) education, including library sciences, marketing/communications, etc.

But since you are apparently in a relationship where you cohabitate, you are in an even better situation and get to skip the roommates. Good for you.[/quote]

Agreed, I'm not trying to pile on here but I'm in my late 30s and have never lived alone (roommates until I got married), I am not sure this is a reasonable expectation. As a parent I can't afford a single family house in the best school districts in my government salary either, that doesn't make my compromise "unliveable." [/quote]
